MY LIFE WITH A FURRY PSYCHOPATH

THERE was no need to carry out the new Puss Personality Test to establish whether or not I have given a home to a psychopath. There’s no doubt in my mind that Suu is.

She’s called Suu after Aung San Suu kyi because she’s Burmese.

She’s b eautiful a nd s he k nows i t. S he’s outrageouslyaffectionateoneminuteand an angry, clawing, biting monster

the next. She rockets around the house e ncouraging t he d ogs t o c hase h er, s tops on a sixpence, turns and lashes out at them mercilessly, and heaven help any poor mouse she brings in and tortures.

But i s s he a p sychopath o r j ust b eing a cat? And why do I love her so much?

U nanswerable questions, I fear.
